We’re always looking for ways to go to the movies “on the cheap.” If you’re a Visa Signature cardholder, you can get $25 worth of Fandango Bucks for only $20 – a 20% discount. The deal ends October 31. However, you can make up to four purchases per Visa Signature card per month. (Basically, $100 [...]
“Elvis has left the building”…and gone to the movies. If you can wait a month or so to see the latest blockbuster film, Elvis Cinemas is for you.

Do you like your zombies big? Every Sunday night, Cinebarre shows the weekly episode of AMC’s “The Walking Dead” on the big screen for FREE. The theatre claims to have the “biggest screen in town”, so the action promises to be even more scary and lots of fun. And this “gathering of the dead” promises to [...]
We know this deal isn’t exactly “cheap”, but, if you love independent films, it’s a great way to save money. Landmark Theatres offers a Film Aficionado Ticket Book with 25 discounted tickets – only $8 per ticket. Yes, that comes to $200 per book. However, you’re saving about 20% off regular ticket prices. Tickets can [...]
If you’re a fan of seeing movies at Cinemark (includes Century Theatres, CinéArts and Tinsletown) and saving money, you should sign up for their weekly e-mail. Why? Because it includes a new concessions coupon every week. With popcorn and soda being just as expensive as a movie ticket, you just can’t afford to pass on this poppin’ [...]
Did you know Regal Cinemas has a FREE loyalty program? If you go to the movies often (even not so often), the Regal Crown Club is a great way to get discounts and earn freebies. For starters, members get a “$2 Featured Candy” on Mondays and a “$2 Small Popcorn” on Tuesdays (with a ticket purchase.) [...]

This is the best movie deal we’ve seen in a long time. Unfortunately, it’s only available at select United Artists (aka Regal Cinemas) theaters – Greenwood Plaza Stadium (8141 E. Arapahoe Rd., Englewood), Meadows Stadium (9355 Park Meadows Dr., Littleton) and Twin Peaks (1250 S. Hover Rd., Longmont.) Every Sunday, including today, January 1, the three movie [...]
We normally don’t like loyalty programs with a membership fee. However, if you go the movies often, AMC Theatres‘ recently introduced rewards program, AMC Stubs, will make the “director’s cut.” The annual membership fee is $12. However, you get lots of benefits, including a $10 reward to spend however you want (even on gift cards) [...]
Sometimes being of a “certain age” has its benefits, right? Well, we think there are many, but here’s one more thanks to Regal Cinemas. AARP members get 49% off on a special concessions deal. Members can purchase a small soda and small popcorn for only $5.50 — regularly $10.75. Of course, you must show your AARP membership [...]
Did you know Regal Cinemas offers economy tickets? The deal is rarely advertised, so it’s somewhat of an insider’s secret. Economy tickets are just $6 – compared to $10.50 for an adult evening admission. However, there are a few restrictions: The deal is only good before 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Plus, the films must [...]

Since we’re in the midst of Denver Arts Week, we thought it would be a good time to remind you about the Denver Center Theatre Company‘s 10 for $10 program. Thanks to the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District (funded by our tax dollars), the progam offers greatly-reduced tickets to the public every week. Here’s how it works: [...]
Boondocks is an eight-acre entertainment center with lots to do for everyone in the family, including a video arcade, laser tag arena and soft play area.
